Today's chicken recipe is simple and delicious. You literally just toss everything in the crock pot, cover and let it do it's magic. I initially saw this recipe on Holly's blog, but she used pork chops. Since my freezer was full of chicken breasts I adapted the recipe just a bit. One of my goals for the New Year is to use my crock pot on a regular basis. I'm not sure why I don't use it more, because it's a huge time saver. Not to mention slow cooked food is so much more flavorful and tender.

This Ranch House Chicken turned out perfectly tender with a delicious sauce. The combination of the chicken soup and the ranch dressing were fabulous. I also added a tad of sour cream which gave the sauce a nice tang. I highly recommend this chicken dish, so file it away in your recipe box, because you will be making it more than just once.

This recipe only requires a few steps. Spray a 6 quart or larger crock pot with non stick spray, place the chicken inside and add the soup mixture and dry ranch dressing. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours. Serve chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice or pasta.

@Karen, this article can help answer that question? for you. I had to look it up, beccause I don't usually add frozen chicken to the crock pot. http://www.ehow.com/facts_5477300_can-put-frozen-chicken-crockpot.html

@Natasha, I have never tried it with bottled ranch dressing. If you try it keep in mind the results may be way different.

Yum Tina! I have this in the crock right now. I decided to throw some frozen pearl onions on the bottom first and i'm gonna throw in a cup of frozen peas the last hour. I simply can't wait to eat! I'll let you know how it was.

I use pork chops as well but add potatoes to the bottom of the crock pot, add a layer of fresh cabbage and then the meat. Mix all sauce ingrediants together and add to crock pot. Cook as directed here. Wonderfull meal.

We have been sick in our house (all 7 of us) for 18 days, but whose counting:( In this time I have just discovered your blog, which I am really enjoying. I made this recipe one night because I had everything on hand and it looked like something I had the energy to make. We loved it. It was a warm and good meal for a bunch of sick people. Tonight we are trying another recipe. Thanks so much. I am always looking for something new to try:)

Thank you for this recipe! This was sooooo good! I made it with fat free cream of chicken soup and light sour cream (to cut a few calories) and it was SO good. My son, who is so picky, said, "Mama this is the best meal you've ever made!" We will definitely repeat this meal often!

Made this yesterday. I put the chicken in frozen & sprinkled a little Lawry seasoning over the breasts. Mixed the other ingredients in a bowl & spread on top. Cooked on high for 3 hours, turned to low for another 6 hours. Served the sauce over brown rice. It was delicious. Will be making this often. The sauce would be great on mashed potatoes too.

This will be my third time making this. It is so good! We love to shred the chicken and serve it over biscuits with mashed potatoes and green beans. I cut the recipe in half and used fat free soup and reduced fat sour cream. I also didn't have any Ranch dressing packets so I made my own. Can't wait for dinner. Yummy!

I made this tonight and it's my new favorite crock pot recipe! The sauce was Soooooo good. I used a package of boneless, skinless chicken thighs, and a package of chicken tenderloin. I served it with mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli and warm rolls. It's hard to believe something so easy could be so good. One problem: I ate way too much - it was THAT good! Thanks for another 'make again' (and again) recipe. :)

What a great recipe... Thanks for sharing. While searching my fridge for sour cream or cream cheese (found neither)... my eye caught a bottle of white wine... poured some of this in and so not sure what it would be like without it, but amazing with a little white wine. Thanks again for the great recipe idea!! So easy I will for sure keep this on our rotation of dinners!

Ok, I'm trying tonight this but had to improvise since I didn't have all of the ings. on hand. One dzn. skinned drumsticks, Chex Mix seasoning & 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt with 3 cans of Cream of Chicken soup. Cooking on high in crockpot for 4 hrs. We'll soon find out if it's worthy:). Thanks for the idea! PS Serving with chunky mashed red potatoes & broccoli florets.

Hi, I found your website by chance, lucky me! Thank you so much for this super easy recipe. I have it in my Crockpot now, first time making it, can't wait to try it!! It smells delicious!!! For anyone that's curious, I just put in 3 chicken breast with 1 can of soup and half a package of Ranch dressing. Can't wait for supper!!!!

I just found this recipe and had to try it. I'm cooking it now but I mistakenly mixed the ranch packet with the cream of chicken soup and sour cream, I'm hoping it still turns out as good as it sounds!! Thanks for the recipe!

Hi - I would love to try this recipe, but I'm on Weight Watchers and need to know the weight of the chicken to use. Can you estimate about how much chicken you used for 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts?

I was making it for my husband and myself! So I cut the recipe in half! I used 1 can of the cream of chicken and mushroom combo and my sour cream was expired 😊 so I used cream cheese. Yummy, but I should have used the full recipe with 2 breasts! There wasn't enough sauce (for me!!!) to pour over the rice! I will be adding the full recipe to my menu plans!! Thank You!
